If the code we speak of is in its own .php file, and this is the entire code, then make sure it starts with <?php and ends with ?>

sorry silly mistake,

Code:


Name: <br />
E-mail: <br />
Subject: <br />

<!-- Hosting24 Analytics Code -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://stats.hosting24.com/count.php"></script>
<!-- End Of Analytics Code -->

this is what was returned on the view source

Well, unless the server is hiding them, you're getting no errors, so the variables should exist, but appear to be blank. What does the 'name' input of your form look like?

Something similar to:

<INPUT type="text" name="name" />

???

And, if you don't mind, can you post your form code?

I posted an bad response since I got a few peeps' issues going thru my head, and it was inaccurate for yours, srry.

For some testing, mind taking the onblur, onfocus, and onclick items from simply your name box and see if that helps? The code looks fine, so it must be a tricky thing.

**w3l54666**

ok i took all that off,

and still its coming back with blank data......

still confuzzled

**Triple_Nothing**

I figured it out. The issues is in the enctype="text/plain" part of your form tag. I removed it and all worked fine.

My version:
http://projects.hellzoneinc.com/devs...anksubmit.html

The PHP processing code the form is submitted to:
http://projects.hellzoneinc.com/devs...mitprocess.txt

**w3l54666**

so all i gotta do is take out enctype="text/plain" part of the script

then it should work all ok???

**Triple_Nothing**

Yep. If you've no true reason to really define such, which in this case it seems you have not, then you can safely remove it and all will be good.

**w3l54666**

ooook,

so if i take off the echo part we put on it should work ok??

**w3l54666**

hey Triple, All working fine...

Massive thankyou for your precious time, and also your patients working with me.

Massive Kudos to you..
